CLASS SONG. 



By George Merrill. 
For years within sheltering walls 

Old Carlisle, we've sought thy learning; 
Following the way to duty calls, 

"Justice," our motto, in doing. 

Chorus: 

Firm and united we shall stand 
Led on by the purple and white, 

Facing the light, a loyal band 

Ever onward, strong in our might. 

Gazing into regions beyond, 

While standing at life's open door, 

Motherly arms of which we're fond, 
Beckons us to nestle once more. 

We think of the love and the care, 
And our hearts with gratitude swell; 

Of the kindness that was our share — 
Dear Alma Mater, fare thee well. 

Forward, Seniors, with heart and soul; 

Reward awaits, for each a crown ; 
Strive onward ever; reach the goal; 

Honor Carlisle; win fair renown. 




SALUTATORY. 



By Rhoda Fobb. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: — The members of the class of 1917 extend to 
you a most cordial greeting as they come before you on this most impor- 
tant occasion of their uneventful lives. For years we have been work- 
ing with this day in view and have spent youth's golden hours in earn-

est endeavor to obtain a Carlisle diploma — the symbol of difficulties 
overcome, of a long task worthily accomplished. As a class we salute 
you for the last time; for, on the morrow we leave Carlisle to go our 
several ways and to enter the field of life through various paths. We 
have given up our school privileges, and the pleasures of comradeship 
which we have enjoyed in our spare moments will never come again ; for 
when one is a worker in life's hive, spare moments are as precious as 
gold and they must be used as gold. 

Ladies and gentleman, we, who are about to leave Carlisle, salute 
you. 

Members of the Faculty: — Wherever we go and whatever we do, we, 
members of the class of 1917, shall always be united by the memories 
which we have in common : memories of happy school days and of the 
teachers whom we have learned to love so well ; memories of our lovely 
campus in the first flush of Spring when the woodland songsters are 
pouring forth their thrilling melodies; memories of the happy hours 
spent in the school rooms where we equipped ourselves for the work be- 
fore us. Carlisle has given us tools to work with according to our sepa- 
rate needs and abilities, and it is up to each one of us to show the world 
what Carlisle can do with the raw material presented to her. The proof 
that this Government Institution is fulfilling the purpose of its creation 
rests with us and the responsibility is a grave one. But we go to meet 
life with the courage which you have given us. You have taught us 
that we must not wait for opportunities to present themselves, but must 
create them as we go ; that we are not to go into the world to show what 
we know and who we are, but to show what we can do and what we are ; 
that a diploma will mean nothing to us if we are without enthusiasm, 
without ambition, and without a definite aim in life. You have taught 
us, also, the never-to-be-forgotten truth that the world is no place for 
idle dreamers, that in the great race of life Common Sense will ever 
have the right of way. When we leave Carlisle, each of us will be 
animated by the same purpose — to repay by useful service the debt of 
gratitude we owe to your teaching. 

We know that we have far too little experience to realize and to ap- 
preciate the full value of the training which we have received here, but 
we all know that without such training we should be poor indeed. 

Members of the faculty, we, who are about to leave our Alma 
Mater, salute you. 

Classmates: — I salute you. Another will say "Farewell;" I say to 
you "All Hail ! Another will bewail the end of our life together; I say 
to you, "Be of good cheer; let us go forward to meet the future, without 
fear and with a trusting heart " What I would say, others have said

better, so let me use their words which seem fitted especially to our 
needs at this crisis in our career: 

"This life is ours — 
To make it — as best we can — 
De/oid of suffering, pain, heartache, 
A present heaven of this brief span. 

Life is a chase, 

And we the hunters— always following on, 
With bounds of rushing thought or fiery sense, 
Some hidden truth or beauty, fleeing still 
Forever thru the thick-leaved coverts-deep — 
And wind-worn fields immense. 

Life is but a working day 
Whose tasks are set aright; 
A time to work, a time to play 
And then— a quiet night. 

Full grown are we, and full grown work must we now do. 
Follow the teachings of Christ, — Our Leader and our King. 
Live pure, help right the wrong, speak true. 
These, my classmates, are the ideals we have here imbued." 

Classmates, we, who are about to separate as a class, salute, once 
more, our friends, and one another.

CLASS OF 1917. 



By Mary Wilmet. 
19 and eleven fair Senior lasses, 
17 and seven brave Senior laddies; 
Seated each day in Room 14 so bright, 
Endeavoring to do what is honorable and right; 
Never a fear of future care or trouble; 
In every study honest effort double. 
Oh! "Justice" our motto is valuable to all 
Rightly we follow and seldom we fall; 

Colors of "Purple and White" have we — 
Looked upon by everyone with pride and with glee; 
And "Pansy" our flower is so cunning and sweet, 
So is our Teacher, whom everyone ought to meet; 
Seniors — Alumni — we hope diplomas will never 
sound "Retreat."

Children." Amy Smith and Mary Wilmet speak on the same subject in the 
afternoon. Mr. Francis, our superintendent, speaks on the same topic to

senior quartet, consisting of Alta Printuc, Sara Fowler, Amy Smith, and Mary 
Welch, sing "Farewell" to Carlisle. Handkerchiefs much in evidence. Selah!

cheers! Everyone has passed. 

"Life is dear, very dear! 

When we've no exams, to fear." 

20. Commencement week. Bacalaureate sermon by Dr. George Edward Reed, 

former president of Dickinson College. Carlisle reveres Dr. Reed; he is an 
an old friend of the school. Evening. Union meeting of religious organiza- 
tions; the speakers, Dr. Feeser, Dr. Stock, and Mr. Hall, national Y. M. C. A. 
secretary, make fine adresses. 

21. "Continental Congress" is given for the students. Seniors attend in a body; 

they are allowed to sit in the gallery where a whole section has been reserved 
for them. Great time!

At the close of the concert they disturb the air by singing their class song. 

23. "Continental Congress" for the public. Seniors are granted the privilege of 

attending. Lucky Seniors! 

24. Glorious Day arrives! All nature sings. There is sunshine to make the day 

glad and our hearts are filled with joy and pride when we think that at last, 
we shall get the coveted diplomas. Commencement day, is it possible! We 
have them. Congratulations. We pose for the class picture. Seniors no 
longer but Alumni, fifty-six strong, to add to the Honor Roll of "Dear Old 
Carlisle." Selah! Selah! Selah! 

Our hearts swell with gratitude for those who were in any way concerned 
with bringing about the fulfillment of our dearest hopes. We feel that we 
shall never be able to pay the debt we owe to our dear old school; but on 
going forth we resolve to be true to the ideals of our Alma Mater; true to 
the best that is in us by trying to live up to our motto, "Justice." The day 
closes with a sociable in the Gym. The Class of 1917 passes from the stage; 
the curtain is lowered and upon it is written the word — Finis. 



SENIOR OBSERVATIONS. 



Maude (in Domestic Science). — Girls, this bowl is damp. 
Roberta. — Hush, child, that's your portion of the soup. 



SUTTON — La CHAPELLE — MERRILL 
Standard Society Debaters Who Won in the Contest with Conway Hall, on March 31, last. 



AN INTERESTING EVENT. 



A noteworthy event of the school year was the debate between 
members of the Standard Literary Society and representatives of the 
Reed Debating Society of Conway Hall, on the question: 

Resolved, "That the Monroe Doctrine should be abolished." 

Each side was upheld by three speakers, Conway Hall being repre- 
sented on the affirmative side by Messrs. Balbach, Poley, and McKay, 
seniors. H. P. Sutton, George F. Merrill, and Max La Chapelle, 
also seniors, were the Standard representatives for the negative. 

The question was ably handled by both sides, the Standard boys 
doing especially well. The decision of the judges, which was for the 
negative, was cause for congratulation by the whole school, as it 
was generally conceded that the Standard boys had nobly demon- 
strated the spirit of their motto, "En Avant." 




Advisory Member. — -I should like you to be able to talk on your feet. 
Max. — Mine would be too big a subject. 



CARLISLE — 1917 



THE SENIOR'S FAREWELL (Applied). 

By A. L. B. 

Good-bye, Carlisle, good-bye! Good-bye! 
Proudly we wave thy colors on high. 
We'll ne'er forget thee; on thee we rely; 
Good-bye, Old Carlisle, good-bye! Good-bye! 

Good-bye, Juniors, and Sophs, and Freshies, too; 
We have our reasons for not forgetting you. 
Take noble men and women as patterns in all you do. 
Good-bye, old fellows, adieu! Adieu! 

Good-bye, Teachers, good-bye to all — 
Think of us kindly; our good deeds recall. 
We'll ne'er allow our standard to fall. 
Good-bye, kind Teachers, good-bye, to all! 



OUR COTTAGE. 



By Maude Cooke and Agnes Hatch. 

'Neath the shade of the trees, in the campus breeze, 
Stands our Model Home Cottage for profitable ease; 
With dwellers that vary in size and in manner, 
But vow to live up to our Model Home banner — 

This Model Home banner which teaches so true, 
The ways of plain home life and happiness, too, — 
The planning and serving of different foods, 
That would set grouchy people in pleasureable moods. 

In this Model Home Cottage are furnishings plain — 
The reason for this we shall later explain. 
It is not with rich trappings we aim to thrive, 
But toward plain economy we patiently drive. 

The flickering shadows that dance on our hearth, 
Delight us with joy and laughter and mirth. 
The fairy tales told by our teacher, Miss Keck, 
We are storing away in our hearts by the peck. 

The days come and go like swift aeroplanes, 
But this is no reason why one should complain ; 
For with each fleeting moment we all hope to gain, 
A knowledge which may be both useful and sane.

CARLISLE — 1917 



US 



BOOK REVIEW. 

By Marion Paris. 
Robinson Crusoe, a famous work written in London by Daniel Defoe, 
in the year 1705, professes to be a true story of the author's career as a 
mariner and an adventurer. 

The first scene, which is laid in Robinson Crusoe's home in York, 
brings out the roving and adventurous disposition of the hero. 

As the story goes on, Robinson Crusoe obtains work as a sailor; 
while at sea his ship founders, — an adventure which impresses upon 
him the value of his father's advice. A second adventure takes him on 
a trading expedition during which he is captured by the Moors, but suc- 
ceeds in escaping and reaching the East Indies, where, after many 
minor adventures, he settles down quietly upon a plantation. His dis- 
position, however, does not allow our hero to end his days here. In 
person, he starts an expedition to procure slaves for this plantation, 
and once more sets sail. In mid-voyage his ship is wrecked and Crusoe 
lands on a desolate and apparently uninhabited island. Adventures 
follow thick and fast. Many chapters are devoted to the devices re- 
sorted to by the lonely man to provide himself with comforts and some 
degree of civilization. Finally the crowning adventure of all occurs — 
Robinson Crusoe finds footprints in the sand; and, later, discovers the 
owner of the footprints to be a native. Our hero adds this native to his 
household and names him Friday. Robinson Crusoe and his man Fri- 
day are immortal characters in fiction. There is no one who can read 
English who does not know the story of these two people. 

Years pass away, and finally Robinson Crusoe is picked up by a 
ship and taken to England where he spends his last days in retirement 
and ease. 

The impression produced upon me as I read this book is that of the 
resourcefulness aroused in one when he is cut off from all the help of 
man's companionship and of the inventions of civilization. It teaches 
me that courage and ambition can do much even in surroundings which 
at first glance seem hopeless. 

Some of the passages in "Robinson Crusoe" best worth remember- 
ing are: 

That which is bred in the bone will never go out of the flesh. 

Free from vices, free from care. 

Age has no pain and youth no snare. 

The sudden joys, like griefs, confound at first. 

Why should the young student read Robinson Crusoe? is a ques- 
tion which may be asked you. My answer to such a question would be : 
It is worth while to read "Robinson Crusoe," (1) for the absorbing in- 



CARLISLE — 19 17 



terest of the story; (2) because of the picture which it gives of sea far- 
ing life at that date; (3) because it teaches much of man's native inge- 
nuity; and (4) because it impresses upon the reader the fact that misfor- 
tune is bound to follow him who refuses to listen to the advice of his 
parents. 




Let Justice and valor our motto be, 

Ye members of class 1917. 

Make the world happier because we are here 

Aim always the less fortunate to cheer, 

Never swerving from this throughout our career. 

Make sunshine to illumine the way— 
A wayfaring brother may be in dismay. 
Do all that you can to push him along, 
In every way help him to be strong. 
So each day as time presses on 
Over self are great victories won. 
Never give up until the story is done. 



A NEW ENGLAND LIGHT-STATION. 



By Lyman Madison. 

There are various kinds of light-stations associated with marine 
life and ranging from the light-buoy and light-ship (small stations on 
submerged rocks or reefs) to the wonderfully equipped shore-stations 
located in some high, prominent cliff overlooking dangerous shoals, 
rocks, or swift currents. Such stations are divided into three distinct 
classes according to their size, power, and importance to navigation. 

The station about which I am writing is known as the Gay Head 
Light Station and is situated on a high cliff in the town of Gay Head on 
the Island of Martha's Vineyard, thirty miles due south of New Bed- 
ford, Massachusetts. This light house is at the western entrance of 
Vineyard Sound, warning ships against dangerous submerged rocks 
known as the Devil's Bridge and pointing out a very swift current which 
runs every day in the year and has lured to its doom many a gallant 
ship. 

Gay Head Light House is ranked as first class; the light is in a brick 
tower with a diameter of forty feet at the bottom and tapering slightly 
upward to a height of one hundred and twenty feet. Within twenty 
feet of the top is the light or lantern, enclosed by heavy plate glass with 



a steel top. The lantern, lenses, and mechanism were made in Paris, 
France. 

For over seventy years this tireless sentry has thrown its rays into 
the darkness warning mariners of their approaching dangers. During 
this time various changes have been made in the lighting power. 
At present the lantern is of four hundred candlepower increased by the 
lenses to twenty-five hundred candlepower. At one time this was 
the strongest light on the Atlantic coast, but it ranks second now. A 
marked feature of this light is that it has three white flashes and one 
red flash, each flash has a duration of five seconds and may be seen 
easily for twenty miles. The flashes are five seconds apart. 

In the light house there are two keepers, or attendants, whose duty 
it is to see that everything about the station is in perfect order at all 
times, especially the lantern. The hours of duty, or the watches as 
they are called, are divided from sunset to midnight, from midnight to 
sunrise, reversing each week. The lantern chamber and dwelling room 
are connected by telephone and also by an electrical device which 
notifies the keepers if the lenses cease to revolve. 

Each light is inspected once or twice a year by a government in- 
spector, who brings wood, coal, and oil for the year's supply. 

The Light House Service of this country is under control of the 
Treasury Department and is a very important bureau of this depart- 
ment, as it gives employment to a large number and saves much prop- 
erty and many lives annually. 




THE ART OF WEAVING. 

By Sallie Greybeard. 

It is possible that the primitive ideas of weaving were suggested 
originally by the way in which the spider spun his web. At any rate 
the spider is the first spinner of which we have any knowledge. 

We know that the ancient people spun and wove from the dis- 
coveries made when Egyptian tombs have been opened. From the 
wrappings of these people long dead and laid in their graves, historians 
have obtained knowledge of their home life and know that they prac- 
ticed spinning and weaving. In ancient times, too, we know that 
roofs were made of boughs interlaced and woven and these show that 
the art of weaving was known. 

In old days, all spinning and weaving was done by hand. The 
pattern was selected and woven into the material; such patterns as 
historical scenes and scenes from mythology and romance. The sub- 



C A R L I S L E — 1 9 1 7 



ject of the pattern made no difference in the purpose for which it was 
used as it would in these days. 

After a while, the distaff and the spinning wheel were invented and 
spinning became part of the regular work of every housewife. The 
distaff was a stick upon which were wound raw fibers; the spindle was 
the device that twisted the wool into threads. Even savage races have 
practiced the art of weaving as we know from their basket making. 

Before one can weave, one must have a loom. Many of the looms 
used by the grandmothers in colonial days are in existence now; and 
from them we may obtain an idea of the way in which the work was 
carried on. In those days the pattern was drawn in by hand and the 
loom was worked with the foot; today, the loom is fastened to an 
electric dynamo and works just like magic. 

The different fabrics woven on the looms were made of cotton, flax, 
or silk fiber. Cotton was first used by the Hindoos. Little use was 
made of it in very early times, because of the enormous labor involved 
in separating the cotton from the seeds. It would take a person four 
or five days to pick a pound by hand ; but after Eli Whitney invented 
the cotton gin the use of cotton became universal. Today the United 
States raises three-fourths of the world's supply of cotton and it has 
become our most important vegetable product. 

Of all fibers, silk is the most beautiful and expensive. It is said 
to be nearly faultless in texture. While cotton is a vegetable product, 
silk and wool come from animals. Wool was one of the first fibers used 
for spinning and weaving and still holds its place in the manufacture of 
woven material. The quality of wool depends on the quality of the 
sheep upon which it grows. If the sheep are fed and cared for 
properly, the wool will be of high grade; but, on the other hand, 
if the pasturage is bare and rocky, the wool produced will be coarse 
and scanty. 

Next to cotton and wool comes flax as a valuable fiber for weaving 
purposes. This is also a vegetable product and is used in large quan- 
tities in the European countries in the manufacture of linens. Flax 
and silk are sometimes combined to make a material thicker than 
either used alone could produce. A mixture of the different kinds of 
fibers usually produces satisfactory results.

THE 



STANDARD 



DEBATING SOCIETY'S HALL 




THE INVINCIBLE DEBATING SOCIETY'S HALL 



60 CARLISLE — 1917 



Let us our daily tasks perform, 
Each in his own best form. 
Never shrink from work or play 
Always do your very best each day. 

Pleasure, then, to every one we bring 
Also do we brighten every thing. 
Right from wrong we all do know, 
Keen up our efforts where'er we go, 
Every day teach lessons kind and true- 
Riches in Heaven shall then be our due. 



A READING FROM HOMER. 



By Lena Parker. 

The great masterpiece about which [ am to write is entitled 
"A Reading from Homer," and was painted by Alma-Tadema, a 
famous artist of the nineteenth century. 

The picture is brilliant in coloring and gives the beholder the 
impression that in ancient times, people lived a life of ease and 
pleasure. The room portrayed in the picture must have been in 
one of the beautiful castles of which we read, for everything is 
rich and georgeous. In this room, half lying on a velvet couch, 
is a lady who seems to be greatly interested in the man who is 
sitting on the chair reading to her. Perhaps the man is Homer 
himself; but we know that it is not, for in Homer's day poems 
were not printed and read. Leaning against the wall is a harp 
and in fancy we can see the lady, after the reading is finished, 
bending gracefully over the silver strings and playing and sing- 
ing poems of her own composing, as was the custom in those 
days. The picture is a wonderful one, the color is so exquisite 
and the character so lifelike in expression and posture. 



SENIOR OBSERVATIONS. 



It was the day before the picnic and plans were being discussed. 
Agnes. — Say, Biscuit, let's go for a boat ride tomorrow. 
Uneeda. — All right; I'll oar because I can oar good. 
Agnes. — You mean row, don't you, Biscuit? 
Biscuit. — Oh yes, that's what I mean; I can roar just good. 



C A R L I S L E — 1 9 1 7 < !l 



Brave deeds may be won, 

Each day as one goes on. 

Like a warrior bold, 

Lighten with joy each task ten-fold, 

E'en though the story is oft retold. 

Pain may come, 
Each one his share, 
Neither sigh, nor make moan. 
Inwardly do not groan, 
Soon Fate will surely atone. 
Keep cool, do your best— 
And your heart will find rest. 



THE FIRST SPINNERS. 



By Belle Peniska. 

The first spinners were the spiders. By watching this little 
animal as he wove his web and by examining the wonderful 
web he spun, people learned the art of weaving fibers into cloth. 

The spider differs in several ways from insects: (1) He has 
only two parts to his body, the head and the abdomen, while 
insects, the ant for example, have three parts. (2) The spider has 
eight legs while most insects have but six. (3) The spider does 
not pass through so many stages of life as do insects, the first 
stage is the egg from which comes the spider directly, while usually 
from the insect egg comes first the grub, and then the insect. 
(4) The spider bites while all insects sting. 

The spider is a wonderful insect and is held up as a pattern 
of industry and patience. It shows great mechanical skill in the 
construction of its web and remarkable shrewdness in the manner 
in which it protects itself and procures its food. When an enemy 
gets into the spider's web, the spider lets him struggle until its 
strength is gone when it can safely be attacked and killed. 

The spider teaches us many lessons: the necessity of being 
industrious and alert, and the need of protecting the homes we 
have made for ourselves.

CLASS PROPHECY, 

By Hobson Tapper. 
For twenty-five years after I left Carlisle, I traveled over the wide, 
wide world until my soul grew weary and I came to rest at the portals of 
the dear old school, hoping that I might find there some one whom I 
had known before I started on my long wanderings. No one was there 
who had ever heard of the Class of '17 ; so I started out once more upon 
my travels. Far and wide I journeyed, and at last I ran across an old 
ex-student who had left our class to take an agricultural course in the 
state of Oklahoma. As soon as we met, we began to lay plans for fur- 
ther adventure ; and at last we decided to take a trip to the planet Mars. 
We easily secured an aircraft, named "American Eagle," provisioned it 
and fitted it out with all necessary articles, and started May 23, 1942, 
for worlds which we thought no man had ever before visited. Nothing 
went amiss, and we landed on Mars, just a fortnight from the date of 
departure. The planet was much like our own and presented few 
strange features. Flying to the principal city, Martoria, we took up 
our abode there for a while and found that it was governed like an 
American city and that the whole government of the planet very closely 
resembled that of the United States. And no wonder for whom do you 
suppose we found there among the inhabitants of this city? Whom but 
our former class president, H. P. Sutton, who, having risen to the 
height of his old political ambitions, was now President of the United 
Union of Gravy and Bean Jobbers, and still true to the old Republi- 
can Party. 

From Mr. Sutton we learned the reason why no one on earth seemed 
ever to have heard of the illustrious class of 1917; for he told us that 
most of his classmates were to be found in his prosperous dominion. 
Following his advice, we went to the second large city of Mars, Martu- 
rium, and found George Warrington and Peter Jackson occupying pro- 
fessors' chairs in the great University of the city. To my intense sur- 
prise, one of the famous scholars of our class, Isaac Willis, was also one 
of the professors at the University. And of what was he professor 
do you suppose? Why, of Latin, to be sure. Besides these worthy 
gentlemen, we found there Edwin Miller, acting as head coach for the 
University Foot-Ball team and we were told that his team had never 
suffered the disgrace of a defeat in all his years of coaching. 

As we roamed about this strange town, we noticed great numbers of 
cars which resembled the old Fords of our student days on earth. It 
gradually dawned on us that these cars all bore the name of "Merrill," 
the name of the man who wrote our class song. We remembered that he 
left for the Ford factory soon after graduation. There he had learned 



62 



CARLISLE — 1917 



the trick of turning out cheap cars in large numbers and had taken his 
product to Mars where he did not have to compete with the historic 
Ford. 

We staid a long time in the land of the Merrill Car, but at last de- 
cided that it was time to move on. While traveling through the coun- 
try, we espied a very beautiful bridge that was an ornament to the en- 
tire republic. To our astonishment we learned that Wilford Eshelman 
had built this structure and that he was the best civil engineer in the 
world of Mars. 

Of course we could not leave a new world without studying a little 
its literature and art. Imagine our astonishment when we found that 
one of our classmates was also prominent in the world of letters; 
Roberta Seneca, we found out, was Poetess Laureate, for the country. 
That did not seem so strange when we remembered that in school she 
composed some of the best poetry known. 

The time had now come for us to leave the planet Mars and des- 
cend to Earth again. Our plans did not fail and in ten days we were 
in San Francisco, safe and sound but tired from our gigantic under- 
taking. I said that we arrived safe and sound, but that is not literally 
true; for, during the process of landing, my companion's mighty limb 
was sprained and we were obliged to hunt for a doctor immediately. 
The first sign which attracted my attention in my mad rush around the 
city had written on it, "Doctor Lyman Madison, M. D., Ph. D." I was 
astonished, for I had known the honorable gentleman well. I called 
immediately and secured the services of this much titled gentleman 
whom I found to be in addition a dentist, a lawyer, a druggist, and an 
expert horse doctor. He soon reduced the sprain and charged us noth- 
ing as we were once fellow students — a deed which caused us much re- 
joicing for our funds were so low as to be invisible. We staid with the 
learned doctor a week and then went to Mexico where we lost no time 
in hunting up an Aztec temple which we were very anxious to see. 
Our guide thither was a famous scientist in whom we recognized Mar- 
ion Paris whose nickname in school was "The Scientist" because of his 
knowledge of all secrets of the universe. 

From Mexico, fate led us to Georgia and into the Everglades. 
There we found Mike Gurno who had become a celebrated naturalist; 
he was scouring the Southern swamps for specimens of animal life 
hitherto undiscovered. In our wanderings we finally reached New 
York City, where we were the guests of a fellow student named Herman, 
champion wrestler and boxer. He told us that if we went to Africa, 
we should see some old friends, so we started off at once and had an op- 
portunity, immediately upon landing, to join an expedition to the fam- 
ous Kimberley Diamond Fields, whither three most prosperous mer- 
chants were going. On the way we discovered that these merchants 
were very wealthy diamond importers and that when they were in more 
humble circumstances they answered to the names of Francis Ojibway, 



CARLISLE — 1917 es 



Wilson Wiley, and Alex Roy. While in Africa we went hunting and shot 
20 lions, 10 leopards, 10 snakes, and 20 camels. In the jungle we ran 
across Andrew Beechtree, American Ambassador, off on his vacation. 

Tired of Africa, we sailed for Europe and visited Paris. While 
viewing the sights, our attention was attracted by a sign which read, 
"Gym. Club Physical Culture College, Earl Wilber, instructor." Noth- 
ing could surprise us now. It was a matter of course that we should find 
that the American Ambassador to France was another member of the 
class of 1917 — Max LaChapelle. He told us that he was not the only 
ambassador on the Continent, for Mary Welch had lately been ap- 
pointed ambassadress to England. We learned, also, that George 
Tibbetts was president of the great Cunard Steamship Line. 

On our return to America, my companion left me to go my way 
alone, to our mutual regret. In our journeyings we had found no trace 
of Ralph Tourtillotte nor of John Flinchum, both of whom, however I 
heard later: one, a Commissioner of Forests; the other, Superintend- 
ent of the Five Cilvilized Tribes and their property. 

Does it surprise anyone that the class of 1917 is filling so many 
honorable and exalted positions? It need not. Ours is a wideawake 
class, ever toiling and struggling upward, however steep the way. 
Its fate is the fulfillment of the well-know lines: 

"The heights by great men reached and kept, 
Were not attained by sudden flight; 
But they, while their companions slept, 
Were toiling upward through the night." 



Reach out for the highest, 
Aspire for the noblest. 
Leave worry to others. 
Pray for your brothers. 
Have faith in yourself 

Think not of pelf. 
Owe nothing but kindness, 
Unfold only goodness. 
Respect the opinions of another— 
Turn not away from the memory of "Mother." 
Insure against possible disaster- 
Lean wholly upon the "Great Master." 
Look forward to worthy achievement. 
On to the struggle, a worthy opponent. 
Taking bravely the chances that lie in your way — 
Trusting in truth to win in the fray ; 
Endeavor and grit will surely win the day.

VALEDICTORY. 



By George Warrington. 

Ladies and Gentlemen: It has fallen to my lot to say to you farewell, 
as the elass of 1917, steps down for the last time from the stage whereon 
we have each "played his little part." You are our friends and well- 
wishers, else you would not be here; and we hope that in the work we 
are getting ready to do, we shall prove ourselves worthy of the interest 
you are showing in us. It will be a proud moment for the class of 
1917, when, on some day far in the future, anyone of you shall have 
reason to say, "I remember this person, well; he or she graduated from 
Carlisle in 1917." 

Ladies and gentlemen, the class bids you farewell. 

Members of the Faculty: The honor has been conferred upon me of 
addressing you at this the final meeting of the class of 1917. The 
occasion brings joy and sadness to us — joy because we have been 
associated with you for so long, joy because this association can never 
actually be broken, and joy because your ceaseless efforts in our behalf 
have made us better citizens of a country, which today, as never before 
needs better citizens. We rejoice that we have been allowed to finish 
our course here, that Carlisle has prepared us to cope with the pro- 
blems that await us in the world of action. 

The occasion brings sadness, because it marks the end of our jour- 
ney along the same trail. The real farewell has not yet been spoken, 
but its shadow envelopes us today. We want to express publicly the 
especial claim which you have upon our gratitude and to thank you 
for the broad-minded instruction which you have bestowed upon us. 
We owe to you the privilege of taking our place with a more dominant 
race and you have taught us how to utilize our opportunities and 
advantages. Our great regret is that you cannot go along with us and 
share in that prosperity and happiness which you have made possible 
for us. In the thought "Labor of love is not in vain you will find your 
reward." In return for what you have done for us, we pledge our 
loyal support to those ideals and institutions to which you stand 
committed. May this class prove that as teachers of the young rep- 
resentatives of the various Indian tribes your work is of national 
importance and represents the greatest degree of service to the country. 

Members of the faculty, tireless in your labors for others, broad- 
minded and strong-minded, with the love of humanity in your hearts, 
we bid you adieu. We are proud to belong to an institution honored 
by your presence. 

Fellow Students: The class that has been leading you so long is 
about to break ranks and scatter into the open country — to be seen no 
more as a unit body. We leave behind us our record and the memory 



(!!) 



of our deeds upon the campus. These, you are to cherish and exploit 
until you too shall have left the scene of your school life. We leave to 
you, also, our example which shall serve as a beacon to light your path 
to the desired goal. At parting we, who are your seniors, may fittingly 
bestow upon you some good advice. What successful scholars have 
done you can do. Let no discouragement find a place in your 
thoughts. Wherever you are and whatever your equipment Carlisle 
has taught you how to develop yourselves to the greatest advantage. 
Carlisle's teachings fit the needs of all. Ever be grateful to this branch 
of the Indian Service which has been of such inestimable value to you. 
Remember that opportunity passes by the inactive and that she passes 
by but once. A chance once lost will never present itself again. 

Fellow students, active and zealous in the performance of duty, 
joyful at heart, grateful for what has been done for you, eager for what 
the future has in store for you, we bid you good-bye. Henceforward 
the dignity of the school is in your keeping. 

Beloved Classmates: The hand of our fate is beckoning; we stand 
for the last time in the shadow of one institution. W 7 e have come to the 
end of the long trail over which we have traveled together. W nither 
are we going? We have often talked of this day, but now that it 
has come, we are dumb. We would stay a little longer but relentless 
time hurries us on to the final separation. Each of us must go alone 
over a new trail, our lodges will lie far apart and we can never again 
hail one another whenever a new sun brings in a new day. The trials 
of life we must meet and bear as best we may without the cheering 
companionship of fellow classmen. The Indian is always a lonely 
figure as he pursues his way thru the midst of men who are not of his 
race; Carlisle Indians are doubly lonely for they have known the joys 
and the advantages of a life of companionship. Classmates, each of 
us must go his way; each of us must meet success by a different road; 
we are animated by different ideals; our purposes in life are necessarily 
different; but there is one purpose in the breast of each of us — we 
have a debt t :; pay to Carlisle, a debt that can never be repayed save 
by loyalty to this institution and its principles and by a course of right 
living that shall bring credit upon the school. Carlisle's reputation, 
her honor, her standing among educational institutions, her fame, even, 
depend wholly upon those whom she sends out at commencement into 
the world of industry. 

Classmates, farewell. Let the sacred friendships formed here be 
sacred always; if there exist any hard feelings among us, let such 
feelings be wiped out today. There is a tie binding us which can never 
be broken, a tie that should have in it no weak nor damaged strands. 
Class of 1917, we hunt no more together; ma}' each of us keep for his 
inspiration the memory of all the rest, and may we have a glorious 
reunion on that day when all earthly trails shall for us have come to a 
glorious end. Classmates, good-bye.

iWecfjantc &rt£ department 

Carlisle has a course in each of the following trades: Steam- 
fitting and Heating, Carpentry, Masonry, Blacksmithing, Painting, 
Printing, and Shoe and Harness repairing; boys are also assigned to 
the Sheet Metal and Tailor Shops. 

The above courses are taught by starting the student in as an 
apprentice and by daily experience on work in connection with repair 
and new work, of which there is an immense amount to do, thereby 
learning the general methods employed in the trade. It is here that 
Carlisle offers the greatest possible help to the Indian student, for 
while he is getting practical skill by working at the trade, in the finest 
of equipped shops and on the school grounds, he is also given a com- 
plete technical course and the instruction is thorough and practical, 
so that he will be able to compete with his head as well as with his 
hands. 

He is also taught to draw plans and make estimates in connection 
with the course that he takes up. 

Each shop has a class room of its own and is equipped with movable 
chair desks, blackboards, etc. 

Carlisle offers great opportunities to the boy who really cares to 
learn a trade and become self-supporting and independent of the help 
of others.

Realizing that a great number of the Indian youth have a natural 
liking for the soil and eventually begin farming, the Carlisle authorities 
have laid special emphasis on doing all in their power to make the 
subject of interest in both the theoretical and practical side. Their 
efforts have been rewarded in the great interest that is being mani- 
fested. One of the strongest features in this enthusiasm for agriculture 
is the Agriculture Club. This consists of all the students interested in 
agriculture and is conducted along lines similiar to the general debat- 
ing societies, but dealing only with practical agricultural subjects. 

The classroom work in agriculture is under the supervision of 
experienced teachers with good opportunities for connecting the studies 
with the practical work of the farm. 

The dairy is composed of fine, high grade Holsteins, housed and 
cared for by the Indian boys in a simple yet sanitary manner. It is 
impressed upon all that the production of clean milk does not neces- 
sarily mean expensive methods. 

The piggery accommodates about two hundred head. The majority 
are pure-bred Duroc Reds, with some Berkshires and Poland Chinas. 
There are splendid opportunities here for those interested in the 
raising of all kinds of livestock to acquire a good working knowledge. 

The farms at Carlisle are popular places with the students, due to 
several factors. The equipment is of the best; the chances for recrea- 
tion are great; the farm boys have their own tennis court in the rear of 
their very pleasant farm yard. Classroom instruction at the farm 
each day before going to the fields also helps to make them understand 
better the whys and wherefores of the different operations on a farm. 

Altogether, the boy who selects agriculture as a vocational subject, 
or even the pre- vocational student who gets the elementary work as he 
goes on the different details is being fitted to assume his part in life 
with the help of this valuable training obtained at Carlisle.

FOOTBALL 



By Captain Tibbelts. 

The prospects for the coming football season are bright. Many of 
the Varsity men will be here, and almost all of the men who played on 
the Reserve. Some are going home for the summer, but each promises 
to bring with him a new man when he returns in the fall. The captain 
promises to report on schedule time. 

Ten of the strongest games that Carlisle has ever had on her 
schedule are booked for the coming season. The boys are determined 
to show mettle of the old-time Carlisle football. 

Of course, if Uncle Sam should select the boys to play the war 
game, they will be ready to shoulder arms with the same courage and 
vim with which they play football or lacrosse. 

We have a coach this year who uses the Warner system of football. 
New supplies have been ordered and things generally look very promis- 
ing for a strong winning team. 

Plenty of "pep" and good team work will surely spell success for 
Carlisle football next fall. 




TRACK, RELAY, HURDLES, SPRINTING. 



By Francis Ojibway. 

In looking over the past season one is justified in making the 
statement that the track team was reasonably successful, although the 
boys did not win all the meets the spirit manifested was decidedly 
gratifying to the trainers. When the weather was favorable for out- 
door work many candidates reported to Coach Clevett. Among these 
were Wilber, May, LeRoy, Coulier, Keotah, and others who are 
experienced track men. 

On March third, the relay team went to Washington to compete 
with George Washington College. Washington won by only three 
points. Considering the odds, this was little short of a victory for 
Carlisle. 

In the first clash with Dickinson College, our boys were defeated 
by the score of 65 to 60 points. The contest was so close that it was at

first doubtful who were the victors. In this meet Wilber distinguished 
himself by running such a wonderful race that he was entered for the 
100 -yard dash Inter-Collegiate Championship races that were held 
in Philadelphia on April 28th. 

On that same date the relay team, consisting of May, Tibbetts, 
Keotah, and Tetrault, went to the Penn Relay and won second place. 
Each was awarded a cup. 

Although the weather was unfavorable for track work in the meet 
with Lebanon Valley College, our team was successful, the Indians 
winning by the score of 77 to 49. 

The last meet of the season was with Lafayette College at Easton, 
Pa. The Indians lost by the score of 42 to 57. 

Throughout the season, George May, who was elected captain, 
proved his efficiency by assisting Coach Cleyett to develop good 
hurdlers and sprinters. 




LACROSSE. 



By Captain Miller. 

Lacrosse at Carlisle during the season of 1917 was played under 
many difficulties. The Great War caused many schools and colleges 
to cancel their athletic schedules. We had no coach and not having 
played any lacrosse during the season of 1916, naturally we had very 
few old players around which we could build a winning team. 

The few experienced players having a great liking for the game 
and believing in the proverb, "Nothing attempted, nothing gained," 
urged the school authorities to arrange a schedule. Our first game, 
on April 5th, was with John Hopkins University. We surprised our 
opponents by winning from them by the score of 6 to 2; this, for 
Carlisle, being the first victory over John Hopkins in three years. 

We experienced our first defeat when we played Lehigh University. 
They won from us by a score of 8 to 2. Our last few games were with the 
Cresent Athletic Club of Brooklyn. They, too, won from us in the 
first game which was on the 26th of May. Score, 3 to 2. On Deco- 
ration Day we played the same team. The game lasted for 55 minutes, 
each side doing all it could to w T in. The teams were so well matched 
that when time was called the game stood a tie, 4 to 4. 

I have just briefly mentioned a few of the games which we won and 
lost, respectively. I wish to add, however, in justice to everybody 
concerned, that all our games this year were played with teams con- 
sidered the best in the East, and at that we won three games and lost

CARLISLE — 1917 93 

two, and tied one, ending the season with 32 points to our opponents 20. 

As captain of the team, I think, all things being considered, that I 
am justified in saying that our lacrosse season for 1917 was successful. 

Looking into the future from the standpoint of lacrosse, one can 
easily see that Carlisle should have a much better team next year, 
since about eight or nine of the better men expect to return and most 
of the reserves will be here to pick from. This year's experience 
should manifest itself in such a way that next spring Carlisle's lacrosse 
team should be one of the best in the East. 

iiii 

BASKETBALL. 

By Edwin Miller. 

The work of the basketball team, though perhaps not so brilliant 
as might have been desired, was very good; this was partly due to the 
splendid work done by Captain Herman, who is to be congratulated on 
his ability to manage a team on the basketball floor. 

The team, aside from playing a goodly number of very exciting 
games at home, made several trips during the season, the most ex- 
tensive being to New York City where they remained a week, during 
which time the}- played several exciting games. 

It might be well to mention a few of the highest individual scores 
of last season: Emerson Metoxen, 181 points; Andrew Condon, 181 
points; Claude Smith, 134 points; Captain Herman, 128 points; John 
LeRoy, 86 points. The team scored 793 points; opponents scored 
724. Double the number of games were played this season compared 
with those of former years and next year's schedule promises even 
more. The following men received "C" certificates in this sport: Jake 
Herman, Andrew Condon, Emerson Metoxen, Clement Vigil, Claude 
Smith, and John LeRoy. 

TENNIS AND OTHER SPORTS. 



Tennis has become a very popular feature of Carlisle athletics. 
The girls, especially, enjoy the sport ; their courts being close to quarters 
make it convenient to play at odd moments and during favorable 
weather there is a rush for the courts. Some of the girls have become 
quite expert in the game. 

The boys have three courts which are in almost constant use during 
recreation. A spirit of friendly rivalry has developed among the more

enthusiastic players which stimulates a desire to excel. A number of 
the boys are strong players. 

Lawn bowling, roller skating, croquet, and archery are other forms 
of athletics that the Carlisle student may indulge in, every one of which 
is conducive to health and good spirits. 

In addition to these there are distributed in the park directly 
opposite the Superintendent's residence, numerous apparatuses for 
other forms of amusement, such as swings, swinging chairs, teeter- 
boards, rings attached to trees for basketball practice, and a chute, the 
latter being particularly enjoyed by the younger students. 




WRESTLING TOURNAMENT. 



By A. L. Beechtree. 

A classified wrestling tournament was organized among the boys 
under the management of our Physical Director, M. L. Clevett. 
This enterprise was open to all boys ambitious to acquire or advance 
themselves in the art of wrestling. There were about twenty-five who 
seized the opportunity and every open evening after the entrance date 
March 28th, three or four matches were held in the Gymnasium in a 
place especially prepared for wrestling. The boys were divided into 
four classes according to weight as follows: 125, 150, 165 and over 
165 pounds. The results were as follows: 

Winner of 125 pound class, Warren Large; winner of 150 pound 
class, Ben Caswell. Herman Kelley was winner of the 165 pound 
class and George Warrington of the heavyweights. The prizes were 
handsome bronze medals. 

In all the matches Max LaChapelle, an experienced and expert 
wrestler himself, acted as head referee.

BOYS' GYM CLASSES. 



By Mike Gurno. 

The boys' Gym Classes were organized early and continued through- 
out the year. After calisthenics, the different troops were divided 
into small groups and each group had an hour to exercise on the 
different apparatus, under the direction of some of the Gym Club men. 




RELAY TEA M—

CARLISLE — 19 17 



During this time the other groups awaiting their turn, took exercise 
by playing volley ball, or other games, or in running relay races and 
wrestling. These classes drilled in the Gym twice a week. 




GIRLS' GYM CLUB. 

The girls' Gym Classes were organized early last fall. Every 
afternoon from 4 to 5 the girls were privileged to go to the Gym to 
exercise under the directorship of Mr. Clevett or of one of the Gym 
Club boys. They were taught to use the clubs, the dumb bells, and 
the wands. They were also given instruction in folk-dancing.

Old Carlisle, with its past of glorious accomplishment for the 
Indian and its future fraught with even greater possibilities, 
appeals to the Indian youth today to partake of the opportunities 
for education she offers. 

The illustrations and descriptions in this book show Carlisle 
as she is today, with her abundant equipment in shop and school, 
her efficient corps of instructors, and her fine student body. 

The academic department, with its teachers nearly all college 
trained, splendidly equipped library of several thousand volumes, 
attractively furnished literary society halls with their host of 
dear and inspiring associations, laboratories, etc., is able to fit 
the student for a better and cleaner life at home or to continue 
in some school for a higher education if desired. 

The industrial departments have large and airy quarters, 
experienced and carefully trained instructors, abundant equip- 
ment, class room with desks in each department, and are in 
every way as complete and efficient as we can make them. 

While Carlisle makes much of the study of agriculture and 
believes that most of her students will at some time in their lives 
be on the farm or ranch, she is advantageously situated within 
the industrial center of America and therefore is especially well 
prepared to teach boys the trades. 

The ability of Carlisle to offer her students enteiance to the 
Ford Automobile Factory at the completion of certain required 
work is a most wonderful opportunity. A boy, after spending 
a probational and preparatory period at Carlisle, is placed in the 
Ford Factory at Detroit and after completing a six months 
preliminary course there, is taken on at excellent wages if he 
makes good. Many Indian boys are taking advantage of this 
great opportunity and have made good. Many more would do 
so if they fully appreciated what it means. It means that we not 
only educate our students but, when they have demonstrated 
their fitness, we have a job waiting and place them in a position 
to go out and earn their living, competing with the white man on 
an even footing and with an equal chance of success. 

Carlisle does not want and has no place for the slacker, but for 
the serious-minded Indian youth, with a determination to equip 
himself or herself for life in the best possible way and is willing 
to "stick," Carlisle is able to offer advantages unexcelled by any 
school in the land.

Old Carlisle, our fair Carlisle. 
The world we'll face without a fear, 

Old Carlisle, our fair Carlisle. 
Rememb'ring thee we'll never fail, 
We'll weather every storm and gale, 
While o'er life's troubled sea we sail, 
Old Carlisle, our dear Carlisle.
